Luscious Lobster @ Lobsterman! *

I am still seriously stuffed after devouring a scrumptious dinner of lobster with B last night!

The last time B and I feasted on a proper lobster meal was ages ago. Even then, the meal was not enjoyed together but separately instead seeing that we were not a couple at that time. You can imagine how long ago that was so the seafood lover in us could not wait to enjoy an exquisite King of Seafood meal together at last!

B did a little research online and discovered The Lobsterman in SS2, PJ. Apparently, it is the only restaurant in Malaysia serving specialty lobster dishes. I read reviews online and saw photographs, which made my mouth water at the thought of sinking my teeth into luscious lobster meat.

Excited and drooling with anticipation, I could not wait for the next day to arrive and even though I had yet to sleep since the previous night, I was eagerly looking forward to my lobster meal with B.

We arrived at Lobsterman a little after 8pm. The restaurant was easy to locate and parking was a breeze too. I wanted to snap some pictures of the restaurant from the outside and this was the best I could do before B hurriedly ushered me inside.

Cosy and comfy, Lobsterman is beautifully decorated with lots of pictures and romantic dim lights. Our waiter initially led us to a small table for two but we opted for a bigger, table for four instead. Seriously, the tiny couple table would not have been able to hold all our dishes at once and I wanted space and comfort while taking photographs of the meal we were about to devour.

Dine in style and comfort

The night before, B and I had already decided on the Lobster Special, which is a dinner set for two at RM128 (exclusive of government tax and service charge of course)!

While waiting, B spent some time brushing up on the 7 steps to eating lobster and I spent mine browsing through the menu.

With a wide array of delicious delights to choose from, I was glad that we had already decided on our order prior to coming here. Imagine how indecisive I'd be otherwise!

A server arrived shortly, bringing with him a huge LIVE Atlantic Lobster for us to inspect. By the way, all lobsters are air-flown LIVE from the icy waters of the North Atlantic so freshness is guaranteed. We had to opt for a 700gm lobster (RM20 extra) as the kitchen had run out of the 550gm lobster and while B gave our lobster a quick once-over; I snapped as many pictures as I could!

Our Baked Escargot arrived first and they were simply lovely. Soft, tender and oozing with creamy delicious goodness, this delightful delicacy of snails made for a delicious appetizer.

More than anything else, my Virgin Colada was just pretty. It lacked thickness and was not sweet enough. I would have definitely enjoyed it more with an extra splash of pineapple juice.

Soup of the Day was Creamy Mushroom, which was a little sweet but tasty nonetheless.

Our delicious platter of luscious lobster arrived next, looking every bit the King of Seafood that it is!

The lobster was cut down the middle, which made it easier for us to break off a claw on each side.

I was having difficulties using the nutcracker to pry loose the flesh inside so B had to do the dirty work of cracking open my lobster claw like he always does whenever we dine in Fatty Crab. Thanks for your help Love!

Happy cracking!

Thanks Love!

There are several lobster cooking styles to choose from including Simmered (North America), Charbroiled (North America), Tarragon Butter Baked (France), Lobster Sashimi (Japan) and Lobster Thermidor (Italy).

After much debate, B agreed to go with me on Stuffed Lobster (USA) - succulent lobster meat sautéed with mushrooms and white cream, baked with bread crumbs to lobster perfection! It was delicious and though eating the lobster meat on its own was delightful, having tasty mushroom cream sauce mixed within was even more divine!

Since I selected the cooking style for our lobster, B was left to decide on our side dish. We went with Baked Seafood Rice instead of Spaghetti, which was truly satisfying with a generous amount of creamy seafood baked to a nice texture and aromatic seafood flavour.

For dessert, we had mixed fruit with a dab of sweet whipped cream. It was simple yet delightfully tasty and it went really well with our coffee.

We took our time dining and got a little creative on the white drawing paper tablecloth while waiting for the bill. What do you think of my lobster drawing?

Makan-Makan @Mariuca was here!

I for one, think that 'my' lobster looks great but truth be told, it was B who so skilfully sketched it out within minutes! I bet it would have taken me an hour to draw a lobster and even then, I doubt it would have turned out looking like a real lobster!

Last to leave, we finally left Lobsterman slightly before 10pm and were bid farewell by the remaining staff; busy closing up for the night. I arrived home, filled to the brim and hardly able to walk or move after our scrumptious diner. Truly lobster-licious, our dinner at Lobsterman will definitely leave us with a lasting impression of love, comfort and simply delicious dining with the very mighty King of Seafood!
